Not the copy you take into the exam
Each booklet here is the IB’s own text, copied word for word from the current edition, with the same sections in the same order. The explanations are ours, and each one says so.
In the exam you get the official printed booklet, with nothing added. Learning where things sit on these pages is learning where they sit on that one.
Open the booklet beside a question
With a free account, press D in the question bank and the booklet opens next to the question, at its topic.
